Chemist Trainee

Role & responsibilities -

• Batch preparation: Measure monomers, surfactants, initiators, and additives accurately; prepare lab-scale emulsion polymer batches under supervision.
• Reaction monitoring: Observe polymerization reactions, record temperature, pH, viscosity, and note any abnormalities like coagulation or foaming.
• Sample testing: Conduct routine QC tests such as solids content, particle size distribution, viscosity, and pH to evaluate batch quality.
• Application trials: Apply emulsions on substrates (paper, textiles, coatings) to check film formation, adhesion, gloss, and water resistance.
• Data documentation: Maintain lab notebooks, prepare structured reports, and update supervisors with daily progress and observations.
• Safety compliance: Follow PPE guidelines, chemical handling protocols, and ensure reactor/lab equipment is cleaned and ready for the next experiment.
• Follow confidentiality protocol
